Make it and enjoy. Happy Cooking!
- I have used jaggery which is frozen and adding ghee while melting it enhances the taste and helps in melting it nicely.
- I have used peanuts which are roasted and without their skins. You can one with skins as well if you like.
- It is important to check on the Jaggery if it’s well cooked or not otherwise Chikis won’t turn out the same.
- Grease a plate with ghee so that the chikis don’t stick while cooling down.
- Cut it into shapes of your choice while they are a little warm otherwise once they have cooled down entirely they won’t cut out nicely.
- Sprinkling Coconuts shreds gives it a nice taste and texture.
